The physicians at the facility I work at get away with EVERYTHING!!!! Filing incident reports is wasted time. They even refuse to follow the CMS core measures, and administration just slaps them on the wrist. Quality gets in trouble for the poor scores, not the physicians. It makes me sick, because we actually have some crappy doctors, and they think they are gods.

Well, none of that will happen if the present government has anything to say about it. We will be back in the dark ages with socialized medicine.

Well, I'm hoping things are better at this hospital I worked at 15 years ago, but the surgeons and anesthesiologists there were insane at the time. Administration did not back nursing AT ALL. I saw instruments being thrown across the room, anesthesiologists falling asleep at the head of the table, circulators being squirted with saline by the surgeons, you name it--it happened. The worst thing that happened to me though was during a TURP. The surgeon called me around to the foot of the table and proceeded to forcefully push on the patient's bladder really quickly which sent a stream of bloody urine and fluids straight towards my face. Luckily, I dodged. Long story-shortened---administration laughed me off. I left shortly after that. If that happened to me today though, I would have pressed charges for attempted manslaughter due to the blood.
